Achieves Impact

Fraserside’s vision is to “Create communities of belonging where the diversity of all people is welcome.” This is how we strive to accomplish our vision:

We provide a variety of housing options so people have a safe home.

We run a Family Emergency Shelter, which is a high barrier shelter for parents (fathers and mothers), women and children

We provide supported housing where people receive supports from staff so they can live independently

We contract with members of the community to provide housing to people with disabilities

Fraserside operates a low barrier housing facility. We own an apartment building where we provide mixed housing to people on low and moderate-incomes

We support people so they can make a contribution.

We are co-owners of Fraser Works, a co-op that provides employment services to people looking for work

We support people with developmental disabilities and with mental health issues to find and maintain employment

We run a small volunteer program, which provides opportunities for people to make a contribution to their community by volunteering at Fraserside

We form relationships with the people we serve.

The relationships between the staff and the people we serve is a crucial step toward building relationships in the community

We facilitate community connections among the people who live in our facilities and participate in our programs

We encourage relationships between people and their communities. For example, we drive people to doctor’s appointments, host birthday parties with family members and visits to seniors' drop-in centers.

We value people for their diversity * We help people achieve their learning goals. * We support relationship and connections. * We focus on the larger community welcoming all of its members.
